I have 6 bantams, OE, Dorkings and silkies. They free range all day long in a 34' x 32' area. they love it when I bring them tomatoes, zucchini, corn, cucumbers, etc. my husband was worried that on of them may have worms because she is smaller than her sister (dorking hens). plus the poo can sometimes be runny, like diarreah. it is not always like to however, so I was wondering if the type of food they eat can effect their poo??
 
As far as food affecting poo....I know it does with me, so why not with chickens!

(Did I just say that?!?!?!?)

food does affect poo...if they are fed to many treats it gets runny if you find that it is for the most part runny then i would cut back on the human food a little now keep in mind that a chicken poop is also pee too so it is normal to have softish poo...
 
thanks! I think for the most part, it comes out kind of runny but solid at the same time.....as for color, I haven't seen yellow
